Mercedes Vito

The Brief

This Mercedes Vito LWB was brought in by an electrical contractor who needed a custom fit-out that offered a secure, organised, and practical solution for day-to-day trade work. With varied equipment carried on-site, the van needed to strike a balance between lockable storage, easy access to frequently used tools, and clever use of space. There was also a requirement for a layout that supported upright ladder storage and could accommodate additional items such as a microwave and smaller electrical supplies. The overall goal was a hardworking layout that would stand up to regular use while keeping everything secure and accessible.

Customer Requirements

A secure system to safely store high-value tools and equipment

Upright ladder storage accessible via the side door
Additional compartments for essentials like a microwave and documents

What We Installed

Pipe storage running the length of the van
L-shaped floor section for upright ladder storage beside the side door
Shelving to the sliding door area with enclosed rear panel and pipe access
Bespoke passenger-side unit with microwave space and upright tool compartment

Final Outcome

This Mercedes Vito LWB now offers a professional, secure, and highly functional workspace, purpose-built for an electrical contractor working across various job sites. By combining practical drawer systems with lockable storage, the customer can confidently carry and access valuable tools without compromising on space. The Van Vault Slider provides essential security, while the pipe storage and upright ladder bay have been cleverly integrated into the layout to maximise the available floor area.

The shelving layout, custom microwave compartment, and dedicated upright compartment for smaller items like clipboards or hand tools bring a level of organisation that makes daily tasks more efficient. Every inch of space was considered, resulting in a well-balanced design that suits both high-volume and everyday use. With a clean finish and strong, durable materials throughout, this van is now fully equipped to meet the demands of trade work — securely, efficiently, and professionally.
